Flowers

How can I improve this photograph? Give it more depth?

Thanks

I like these types of photo and gave it a 5 but there is more you can do.  This is not an area I'm too familiar with but some of Ron Jones work on this site may give you some visual ideas.  It may also be the positioning of the flowers that needs consideration.  A diagonal flow from left to right would be more dynamic than the horizontal view we see here.  Thanks for showing this to us.. KC.

IMO, lowering the opacity of the texture layer might help a tad. On the other hand if I were looking at a print I might not feel that way.

In fact if the image were mine, I'd print it as a palladium with subtle gum bichromate layers to enrich the print and add some weak color to the flower stamen. The negative space in the upper right bothers me a bit and the stuff at the bottom left of the frame don't make visual sense to me (its' presence distracts from the image and doesn't visually support the rest of the piece, essentially becoming a distraction.)

At any rate you have a great start here for an abstracted botanical.

Best regards Madeleine!
